COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONThis beer was brewed with the Woodbridge-based WHALES Home Brew Club. It incorporates 20 pounds of Mexican panela sugar and 10 pounds of raisins, resulting in an extremely malty beer with a rich and rummy caramel complexity (8.5% abv).

Rated on 02-23-2013 at RBWG (Bottle courtesy of SpringsLicker) The appearance is a small tan head with a long retention, opaque brown body, and spotty amounts of lacing. The aroma is caramel malt, dark fruits and some alcohol. The flavor mimics the aroma along with some semi-sweetness. This beer’s mouthfeel is smooth and this beer is medium bodied. A most quaffable beer with a good malt flavor. This beer is worth trying and a beer I would definitely drink again.

Pours an opaque brown from the bottle with thin off-white head and light lacing. Aroma of bourbon, vanilla, scotch sweetness. Taste follows, but a little thinner than you would expect, and add some dark fruity notes. Pretty solid, well balanced, and alcohol well hidden.

Bottle shared at RBWG poured a cloudy brown color with aromas of caramel, light dark fruit, toffee, and light oxidation. Flavors are the same but less oxidation. A nice scoth ale over all thanks to whoever brought this little gem.

750 ml bottle to taster at the RBWG (thanks to whoever shared this). Looks solid; a fairly opaque brown with beige lacing. Smells of oxidized caramel. Tastes like it smells, only better (and less oxidized), with a surprisingly good mouthfeel. Glad to get to try this one from a now defunct brewery.

This bottled brew from a rating party poured a head of foamy finely sized tan colored bubbles that were long lasting and left behind a no visible carbonation opaque brown colored body and an excellent lacing. The mild aroma was brown malt. The mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish mild vinous hop aftertaste. The flavor contained notes of brown malt and hops. A decent one that I would consider drinking again.
